Buah Kedongdong/Amberella - Asian Treasure


An asian treasure. These little mangoes look-a-likes are bursting at the seams with vitamin C - a whooping 30 TIMES that of oranges - and antioxidant goodness. Harvest them green and leave them aside for a few days and see them turn golden yellow and flow with a mild sweetness. Eat them with the skin on. 

They have been used traditionally for the treatment of fevers, cough, indigestion, liver issues, anaemia and diarrhea. The leaves of the tree can be used as a salad leaf and the bark as medicine for thrush and infections. 

Key benefits:
1) Anti-aging
2) Antioxidant
3) Ant-cancer 
4) Immunity enhancing
